I managed to find a Canon G2 firsthand for S$250. Later, I got the Olympus 5050. Both are amazing. If you want an all-in-one, try the discontinued Sony F828. It has a 28-200 lens and starts at f2 for wide angle and f2.8 for tele. The Ricoh's good but a bit slow, I think. Starts f2.8 but goes to f4 - can't remember the model but the one I have has 24mm zoom. I use that a lot when I'm too lazy to lug the Tokina 12-24mm f/4. Hope this helps.
